What about Hawaii?

[edit]

According to my research, the first Issei to arrive went to Hawaii - and Hawaii was a major destination for the Issei. That's how come there are so many Japanese Americans in Hawaii today. But reading this article, you wouldn't know a single Japanese ever set foot in Hawaii! Gatoclass (talk) 13:56, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Renaming article?

[edit]

This title attempts to incorporate American and Canadian Issei in one article. At some point, perhaps it will make reasonable sense to re-name this article "Issei Japanese Americans" ... which would mean that another article would need to be created -- something like "Issei Canadian Americans"? --Tenmei (talk) 16:39, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Plausibly useful tables?

[edit]

The following were part of the main article, but they are a little out of date and the purpose of the date is not sufficiently explained. With some degree of tweaking, this material could be restored. --Tenmei (talk) 00:34, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merger of Nikkei, Issei, Nisei, Sansei, Yonsei

[edit]

Hi

Can't we merge all these duplicating/ overlaping articles Issei, Nisei, Sansei and Yonsei into the Japanese diaspora (Nikkei) page? Besides the obvious repetition, just because these terms exist for the different generations, that is no justification for separate articles. We don't have separate articles on first, second, third generation French/ German/ Chinese/ Portuguese immigrants in WP content on immigrant communities.

[edit]

removed vandalism linking to the Barack Obama birther movement in regards to President Fujimora's opponents trying to prove he was born in Japan. Although it is an interesting coincidence, since there is no mention of Peru on the Birther page, this constitutes original research and probable vandalism. 146.115.129.15 (talk) 06:55, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

First sentence: Issei = Japanese American

[edit]

The article currently states that the term issei is referring to

Japanese immigrants to countries in North America and South America.

But are there actually sources that confirm that Japanese immigrants in Europe don't use the term? Or that people in Japan don't use those words to refer to Japanese-Europeans? Some sources imply that the term might be in use for Japanese immigrants in general, not just to Japanese immigrants to the Americas. For example, here's a dissertation from the University of Bonn, Germany, that is using the word to refer to Japanese-Germans: https://www.ioa.uni-bonn.de/bigs-oas/de/people/ph-d-students-and-alumni-1/jahrgang-2014/vanessa-tkotzyk

The article itself states:

There are just over one hundred thousand British Japanese, mostly in London. Unlike other Nikkei communities in the world, these Britons do not identify themselves in such generational terms as issei, nisei, or sansei.

..which kind of implies that there are other communities that use the term and that British Japanese are the (only) exception to this rule. I can't check the source to confirm this, but if this statement was only about a comparison of American vs. British Japanese, then I'd expect the sentence to be: "Unlike Nikkei communities in the Americas, these Britons do not identify themselves in such generational terms as issei, nisei, or sansei." But it doesn't say "Americas"; it says "world". Nakonana (talk) 22:29, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
